 Major Solar EclipseTotal Solar Eclipse in India on 22nd July 2009
A Total Solar Eclipse will be visible in India on July 22, 2009 from early morning 05:28 hrs to 07:40 hrs IST (0000-0210 UTC). It will last for nearly four minutes - from 6.26 am to 6.30 am in India when the sun will not be visible at all. After almost 10 years we have an opportunity of witnessing a total solar eclipse from India, the upcoming solar eclipse will be longest total solar eclipse till 2114. According to NASA, the solar eclipse on July 22, 2009 is a 'Total Solar Eclipse' and the Moon's umbral shadow on Sun begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, China and ends in the Pacific Ocean. Here's the link for NASA webpage on Total Solar Eclipse on 22nd July 2009 http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/TSE ... E2009.html Total solar eclipses occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, completely obscuring the solar disk for a few minutes. The eclipse follows a West-to-East track that lasts several hours until the alignment ends. Here's the path of Total Solar Eclipse in India : http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/TSE ... -fig02.GIF Personally, this gives me a chance to head to the Old Observatory and conduct some experiments. Wooh. I'm gonna make the best science project  . And I also get to see the critical angle.... without burning my eyes. |
